Ya, I wasn't questioning why it was Rose that got captured or whatever, just why it happened so much. I watched the first 4 episodes last night. It happens to her twice.

This has really caught my interest. This is supposedly going to be the episode after the next one, which is 'The Curse of the Black Spot' (hurr hurr, Oh god Pirates of the Carribean references!).

But 'The Doctor's Wife'...that really intrigues me. The way they've described it... a telepathic distress signal from a 'good Time Lord'? Outside of the universe in a 'bubble' universe? It makes me think of Romana in the pocket universe, Espace. As far as canon goes, we never got to find out what happened to her after she stayed in Espace - no mention of what actually happened to her during the Last Great Time War, whether she stayed in Espace and survived, or whether she died or what. Out of everyone it could be, she is actually the most likely candidate. Which scares me a little :x

Also the writer for 'The Doctor's Wife', Neil Gaiman, has said that the woman the Doctor meets there could be "somebody who may turn out to be an old aquaintance of the Doctor's with a new face". o____oHmmm...!

Some people are speculating that it could be River Song, but to be honest I don't think that sounds right. I can see how people would jump to that conclusion though, due to the episode title. It's possible...but if it does turn out to be River, I'm going to crawl into a hole and cry.

Although, maybe it's just me, but I'm getting a sort of 'The Next Doctor' vibe from 'The Doctor's Wife' episode...I have a feeling that not everything is going to be as it seems with that future episode. That's what I'm thinking, anyway.

But it is very interesting. I wonder what the twist to that episode is going to be.

Do you have a website where I could watch the rest of the first season?

EDIT: The quality of the video uploads on there varies, but it's still watchable. I've watched quite a few of the episodes using that website, so it should be okay. If you have any problems with any of the links, let me know and I'll try to find that episode somewhere else.

And thank you Hiryu <3 If you could find the rest, that would be brilliant.

This torrent is a hodgepodge of various Doctor Who comic books. It stems from a request made in the forums.

First off is the US Marvel Comics "Doctor Who" series that ran 23 issues from 1984-1986. Also included in the file is "Marvel Premiere" #s 57-60 that served as a testing ground for the series and preceded it by a few months.

Next is issues 1-10 of the ongoing IDW "Doctor Who Classics" series that started in 2007. This series (thus far) reprints the same stories that can be found in the Marvel books but the art has been re-colored.

The final regular series is the new 2008 IDW "Doctor Who" series that showcases the adventures of the 10th Doctor and Martha Jones. Issues 1-6 are included. I think that these will be the only issues of the series and that it will be replaced by a series of minis (could be wrong though).

As a bonus feature (I love bonus features!) I have included "Powerman And Iron Fist #79" and "The Avengers Annual #02". These two stories feature a character that goes by the name of Professor Justin Alphonse Gamble of the Time Variance Authority and a group of antagonists called the Dredlox who roll around threatening to "Incinerate!" everyone. Not quite Doctor Who per-say but definitely inspired by the Time Lord. A second bonus feature is a portion of MAD Magazine (UK) #161 entitled "Doctor Ooh".

I thought it was clever, definitely not the worst episode, and I'm sure I won't skip it on future series watchthroughs, but I like how even though it's self contained it still has seasonal arc elements in it

I thought the concept was very interesting. Yes, the fact that she turned out to be a doctor took away a lot of the fear factor, but to be honest, even at the point when we knew what she was, she was still pretty terrifying.

Just look at the fucking way she reacted to the Doctor's tissue. Fucking lethal.

And Rory...oh god, I loved Rory in this episode. Also RORY ON DRUGS = INSTANT WIN.

Also, at the end, I fucking cried when it looked like Rory was going to die. Considering how many times they've done the 'oh shit they're dead' thing, they timed it so well, I was honestly on the edge of my seat wondering if he'd make it or not.

I'll be watching Episode 7 of Season 1 tonight, hopefully Rose doesn't either a)get knocked out/shut in a room or b)do something stupid
